BATH — The Maine Maritime Museum on Monday announced a merger with the Portland Harbor Museum, a deal in which the Bath-based institution will absorb the Portland collection and expand its presence in the state’s largest city.

The Portland Harbor Museum will dissolve as an organization as a result of the change. Its 500 members will join the Maine Maritime Museum membership and its executive director, Mark Thompson, will become the Bath museum’s new regional director for southern Maine operations."
